I was on the IC zoom call in regards to Philanthropic reporting.
They mentioned the donation that people make to St Jude monthly in the amount of $19.
That donation can be redirected so our organization can get credit for that contribution. If anyone in our state has that direct contribution they can contact IC at
Programcoordinator@Epsilonsigmaalpha.org
They can assist with that.Shiela Michelsen, Washington Philanthropic Chairman
